Description Terracotta Warmth: Marbella

As soon as you arrive at this modern, stylish apartment, you’ll enter holiday mode. Kick off your shoes and stand out on the terrace to feel the warmth of the sun on your skin – perhaps you’ll even mix a cocktail or two?

We love how crisp and clean this home is. It’s simple and attractive, with everything you might need for your stay. The huge balcony window means that it’s bright and welcoming, and you’re never far from the sea and mountain views. If you’re anything like us, you’ll spend most of your holiday out on the terrace, revelling in the Mediterranean weather. But when you are inside, you’ll enjoy the cool, calm vibe.

When you need to cool down, you can dive right into the communal swimming pool. And if that’s not enough, you’re only 50 metres from the soft sand of Playa Puerto Banus – don’t forget your bucket and spade.
